By the early 1970s, the gas crunch and new federal regulations effectively neutered many American muscle cars; however, Pontiacs Firebird was one of only a handful of performance cars left standing by 1974. By 1974, the Firebird, like all American cars, were required to sport federally compliant 5-mph bumpers, replacing the invisible, body colored Endura bumpers of years past. Nonetheless, the Firebird still looked virile, especially in stealthy GT-style Formula guise. A true drivers car, the Formula sported a pair of bold hood scoops up front, a fiberglass hood, and few external adornments for a particularly clean look in contrast to the racy Trans Am variant. The V-8 engine choices and available transmissions continued to provide strong, albeit somewhat milder, performance than before. Other standard Formula equipment included hubcaps (Honeycomb and Rally II wheels optional), a special heavy-duty suspension, black-textured grille finish, dual exhaust system, a custom cushion steering wheel, and F70-14 tires.
This 1974 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 is an attractive and well-equipped example with a 44,155 miles believed correct at the time of writing. Finished in Admiralty Blue paint over a light blue bucket-seat interior, this Formula benefits from a restoration to OEM specifications, with power delivered by the matching numbers Pontiac 400 CI V-8 engine with ram air, mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Desirable features and options include air conditioning, an AM/FM radio, and attractive Honeycomb wheels, plus a console-mounted shift lever. Documents include the owners manual, sales brochures, emissions and radio manuals, and a Build Sheet. A spare wheel/tire, roadside jack and lug wrench are also included. While horsepower was down in 74, Pontiacs Firebird Formula 400 held the line with excellent performance, handling, and GT-themed sophistication. See it for yourself and call us today for full details and test drive. We are confident you will want to make it yours for spirited drives along your favorite stretch of open road!

As-Is:
The Last Detail has described the above-mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability, however, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and recommend that the buyer inspect and test drive the vehicle before finalizing their purchase.  The Last Detail shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with the vehicle at the buyer’s request prior to close of sale.  No allowances or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement solely.  It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Any and all differences must be addressed prior to the time of sale. The Last Detail assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle.  Despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle’s mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or a previous owner’s diligence in care of said vehicle.  There are no mechanical guarantees, expressed or implied.

We are being realistic; most of the cars we sell are vintage and by their very nature will need TLC and some degree of attention sooner or later.  Therefore, all vehicles are sold “AS IS”.  However, extended warranty options are available on most vehicles.  Please inquire if you are interested.
